Overtime Law Website Launched as Resource for Workers with Unpaid Overtime Claims

Overtime Law Online, a comprehensive internet resource for employees who have been unfairly deprived of overtime pay, was launched today. Overtime Law Online is the collaborative effort of two major employment law firms, Berger & Montague, P.C. and Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP. Both of these law firms have strong records of defending the rights of workers and extensive experience in employment law cases.

Overtime Law Online provides detailed information about the rights of workers and explanations of common violations of overtime law. Unpaid time for putting on and removing protective gear or specialty equipment for work, intentional misclassification of an employee in order to avoid paying overtime wages, and denial of pay for travel time are three common examples of employer actions that violate labor laws and cheat employees out of the wages they deserve. Information about shift differential overtime and laws regarding meal & rest breaks is also featured on the site. A guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the types of workers who are guaranteed overtime can help answer questions that employees may have about their right to overtime compensation.

Visitors can also review past settlements obtained by the Overtime Law Online firms in the Past Successes section of the site. The Wage and Hour Blog will provide additional information about the FLSA, minimum wage, unpaid overtime wages, and the Department of Labor (DOL) with comments and insights from qualified overtime law attorneys.

If you feel that you are not being paid for all of the hours you have worked or that you are not being paid the overtime that you are due, visit Overtime Law Online. Fill out the form on the left side of the page for a free consultation with an experienced wage and hour law attorney today. The Overtime Law Online attorneys can advise you of your legal rights and responsibilities under state and federal labor laws and help you fight for the compensation you deserve.
